I quite like Beeper (aggregator of messaging from various apps, but strangely not yet Bluesky...), but the image on the page for their Beta desktop build is just WEIRD. Who posts a sample image with this kind of conversation?

Scenes from Rotterdam: Are you a Friqly Man or a Sissy Boy?

A wise man reminded me this morning that in the exact same time period, France managed to exquisitely repair the Notre Dame while absolutely nothing has been done to fix Hammersmith bridge.

@thormitchell.bsky.social was our very first guest on The Product Experience podcast, and it was great to have him back to chat about building an Associate Product Manager program during his time as a VP Product at Miro.

Nice panel on modern product leadership in that there London, calling out plenty of BS that's often thought of as best practice. Good stuff from James Gunaca, Simon Cross, Nani Nitinavakorn, and Cinzia Ricciardone. Thanks to Mind the Product for hosting.

OK, it's Friday. Time for some fun. What is a (Product) Roadmap for? Wrong answers only.

For the last couple of years, I've been using a mental model when coaching and consulting. Problems almost always fit into: *Priorities *People *Processes or *Perception - differences in how other people see the above. Diagnosing them is the step 1. Solving them is a whole 'nother thing.

Some days, it feels like 90% of my job is just asking people to explain their strategy. And then pointing out why that is just a list of things, and not something that their organisation can use to make decisions. Other days, it's 100% of my job.

Weird to be at the Barbican at this time of year and not be at a Mind the Product conference - but this should be equally nerdy and amazing.

I'm on a podcast! I talked to @randysilver.bsky.social about using estimates responsibly, avoiding pain and heartache with them, and using games to build shared understanding. www.mindtheproduct.com/how-to-estim...

It’s that time of the year: pumpkin spice fills the air, the Christmas commercials are making their debuts, and a Leader’s mind turns to the annual planning cycle. There's got to be a better way to spend your L&D budget next year. What if I told you that there was? outofowls.com/blog/how-do-...
